peter2704 0 Posted August 31, 2012 It''s not that, it''s just that the club has improved since he came on the scene and he hasn''t. Still a decent League 1 / Mid-table champ player which is the level we were at then but have come a long way from since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted August 31, 2012 Rated him when he first came on scene and for spells in League 1 but not really after that. He''s a League One/Championship player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted August 31, 2012 He was just a good player because we we''re in league 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Row D Seat 7 0 Posted August 31, 2012 Don''t know why some fans think he''s so great. Is it because he''s a local lad? Is it because Lambert called him the best finisher at the club? Confusing.I think this whole "best finisher at the club" is a bit of a myth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did link up very well with Holt though, and I''d prefer to use CM playing off Holt than I would Jackson tbh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 31, 2012 I like him, he''s one of those players that will never win over the fans. He''s not really an out an out striker so it''s a little unfair to judge him soley on goals. I hope he stays and gets some time from the bench and gradually builds his confidence again.

Gingerpele 0 Posted August 31, 2012 No point trying to argue Martin''s good points to some. They''ve decided he''s useless (some things he''s league one at best, which is laughable...).I personally thought his last court case (which was around the time of his injury in the Championship wasn''t it?) was a huge distraction for him, and he hasn''t been quite the same since.

ca 1 Posted August 31, 2012 I was surprised that he played Tuesday, assumed he would have gone out on loan by now.Does anyone know when C Martin''s contract runs out, last expiry contract date I could find was April 2010 ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingsway 94 Posted August 31, 2012 Quite simply not good enough for where we are now! Lower Championship player at best! Wouldn''t want him even if we were in the Championship! Time for him to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 441 Posted August 31, 2012 [quote user="kingsway"]Quite simply not good enough for where we are now!.........Time for him to go![/quote]Ok, so that leaves us with Holt, Moro and Jackson until at least Jan.Glad you think that only 3 strikers (1 of whom is inconsistent and potentially has an attitude problem, and another who struggles to to actually shoot on target the vast majority of the time) would be good enough to keep us up...let''s hope to christ that Holt doesn''t get injured...

Oh yeah we have pointlessly loaned him out before having a replacement come in! Thats looking like a really clever decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
